A couple from this evening, quite proud of myself :D

After my success on leven last night with my Clan chiefs, I had a wee play tonight. Added a second (fiery red) hackle to the palmering and a goose biot for a target point, just hope they work

A few variations here:

[the beginner]

crackers m8

Amazing ties; they would be cracker jack for fishing Western US rivers.

My lighting needs sorted out for images, shouldn't really be using an LED source but couldn't be bothered setting up my strobes; they're not that flashy, honest

Thanks Fred, I've only been tying a few weeks so your comment has really boosted my ego

I'm getting there with them; I used black varnish then a little UV resin to give a nice form, cheating but it works for me.

I am hoping to get 1 more outing on the Loch before close of season , chance would be a fine thing lol.

Well done m8, your on an expensive journey!
Tie that fly again in 6 months time and show us the pick, just to see the difference, could be interesting

Cheers Thorfinn

ps whats the blue hackle?

[james1983]

i believe the " blue hackle " is actually the light given off by the LED lighting.
